The
American Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic
Works (AIC) has developeSd a Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice
that
each professional conservator must follow.
This includes the level of training and professional development of a
conservator, the quality and nature of the materials we use and the
theory of reversibility, the degree and quality of the documentation we
provide, as well as the
nature of the treatment procedures allowable, among other things.

Conservation
treatments are conducted only by a professional conservator. Each
conservator is trained in the sciences as well
as the history of art and artists; providing
an understanding of material properties and artist materials which
facilitate
the capability to remain true to the artist’s original intent (the
aesthetic and appearance that the original
artist desired.)

Our
management control
system monitors each phase of a project in regard to schedule, budget,
quality
and performance. Close communication among
client, conservator,
appropriate historians and conservation scientists, as necessary; to
ensure the
successful execution of every project.
